Scott Dann joins Crystal Palace

Defender Scott Dann has joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old centre-back was linked with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham a few years ago when at Birmingham and was also tipped to make his debut for England in 2009 but only ever made two appearances for the under-21s.

He remains highly-rated by Palace boss Tony Pulis and will join the club's fight against relegation.
